Because we were Ameri cans, Interested in the development of a small section of our country, involv ing; faith and sacrifices, we were com pelled to pay out as. a bonus,' an excess of 1600 per mile. , A gentleman who Is well known in this country, and Is one of the officers and owners of a great railroad system, which runs partially In the United States and partially in Canada, who will back up and prove his statement, which I am now to repeat, if it be challenged, informs me that last year his railroad (crossing and recrossing the national boundary line), bought quantities of rails from the American producers. For such of them as were delivered at Canadian stations, to be laid on Canadian soil, It paid $21 per ton. For such portion as were deliv ered at American points, to be laid on American soil, it paid 28 per ton. These were the same rails, turned out of the same establishment, on the same day and shipped from the mill In cars of the same make. I 11m Informed also. though not by one of the officials of the road, that the New York Central, which extends up luto vanada, has had the same experience.

Thla is protection for American In dustries with u vengeance. Thus the tariff and the trust, under ila shelter rob the shipping public. Our Republican friends know all this as well a -we do, and have known it for these many years. They have had the power to remedy it for years. Why have they not wielded the power? Are you fools enough to expect abuses like these to be remedied by the friends of the abuse? And per contra, If they be not the friends of the abuse, why have tney not remedied it?

Rut though his millions will enable him to occupy these sumptuous rooms, fate has decreed that Mr. Thomas shall not sleep In the famous $10,000 bed The bed Is there. Mr. Thomas ha looked at It wistfully and slept In an iidjoliilnx room. Nature made him too long,; or, to put It another way, the cabinet maker made the bed too short. A six-foot-four man will not fit a six-foot bed without hang ing his feet over the footboard or dou bling himself uti Uku a. .iaek-knlfe. Therefore, Mr. Thomas Is denied thet supreme joy of his wealth until h can indues the proprietors to havs a splice made in the couch of royal splendor. The charge for the suite Is 1136 per J day, or at the rate of $45,000 per year, but, with the extra charges for meals, servants, tips, etc., should he live In' these sumptuous apartments through out the year, the annual charge on Mr, Thomas would be $78,000 for his own! domestic establishment alone. For en-l tertslnltig probsbly another $00,000, would be expended. Hut Mr. Thomas does ''not intend to make his permanent home at the St. Regis. i "Whal Is the finest suite of hotel' rooms In I he world compared to fltj home?" asked the young mllltonah-ei yesterday. "V lived for two days In.1 this suite, and expect to spend many more days there, but my contract is only to pay for It when I occupy the; rooms. Most of the time I am In Ncwj York I shall sts'iid at home. 1 wouldn't! give up my home at 17 West Fifty-! seventh street and live nil the year' round In the St. Regis Tor anything." And Mr. Thomas agrees with her, hubs :-.;. "The St. Regis Is convenient and very comfortable, b.;t there is little privacy. In ti hotel." I The St. Regis suite, which faces Fifth a venue, comprises a reception room, a library, two bed rooms and two bath' rooms. ! The skill and Ingenuity of the world have been drawn upon to furnish the, apartments. Mrs. John Jacob Antor (s said to have designed the suite.
